This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
When I hold my head down to the ground
And I wish you were here with me
Seems like you're always around
I was blind to see
Too good to be true
you can't stay with me
I wish she was all I need
And it's getting late. and it's cold outside
So cold. so cold
(Trust)
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
Insensitive to all your needs
Did you ever want to stay with me
Never try to put you down
And I never want to see you leave
I still can't believe you're going to leave
I wish she was all I needed
It's getting late and it's cold outside
So cold. so cold
(Trust)
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
(Trust)
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
(Trust)
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
And I wish you were here with me
Seems like you're always around
I was blind to see
Too good to be true
you can't stay with me
I wish she was all I need
And it's getting late. and it's cold outside
So cold. so cold
(Trust)
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
Insensitive to all your needs
Did you ever want to stay with me
Never try to put you down
And I never want to see you leave
I still can't believe you're going to leave
I wish she was all I needed
It's getting late and it's cold outside
So cold. so cold
(Trust)
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
(Trust)
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
(Trust)
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Yeah i think this song is the best song on Animosity! but i guess other people dont think that D;
I think this song is just talking about someone that he loved but never gave much time to notice her because of other things and now that she left or is leaving he's starting to feel guilty bout the things he did and doesnt want her to leave. It's hard to say who he is talking about, but by experience of my relationship i feel it might be his mother.
wow i love this song!!
Very good call Elemental SynDst. I would have to say this song is one of the best of of Animosity (although the entire cd is great).
i agree, i luv this song
This is a great song, and Animosity is an excellent CD. I wouldn't go as far as to say this is the best on the CD, I believe Xmas Day is. That's my opinion, but Sevendust is kickass in concert, and in all their CDs.
i think this is a song about someone who has a relationship with a person that they love but they cant stop thinking about a person they left behind, perhaps betrayed or cheated..
You think this was written about his mother? You're kidding, right? Or you never listened to or read the song?
As usual, I can't be 100% sure what it's really about, but it's not his mother. I can interpret it as him being with a woman who he cares about, but she doesn't quite do it for him... He still needs more, either emotionally or out of life--who the hell knows. But since she isn't all he needs, there is a TRUST issue there...
I think of this song in a similar manner...
He wishes this person... I think a gf or wife... was with him a lot, but he feels that he needs more; something that she can't give him.
"Could we find ourselves... Walking through... A field with no solitude" sounds almost as though he wanted to turn his attention to other people.
IDK
I agree with Ursa. I'm going through the same thing right now.
